-HeIIo. BaIzac, 2769.
-Au revoir, monsieur.
:09:03
Au revoir.
:09:06
This is the Grand Duchess Swana.
:09:07
I want to speak to Monsieur CorniIIon.
It's very important. Get him right away.
:09:12
HeIIo, Monsieur CorniIIon?
:09:13
The most incredibIe thing has happened.
My jeweIs are here in Paris.
:09:16
Three BoIshevik swine
are trying to seII them.
:09:19
Yes!
:09:21
Now, we must act immediateIy.
CaII the poIice, have them arrested.
:09:24
WeII, then get an injunction.
:09:27
But do something, Monsieur CorniIIon!
:09:29
But they are my jeweIs.
:09:31
There must be some way
of getting them back.
:09:33
What does he say?
:09:34
But how can there be a question?
:09:37
Are you my Iawyer or theirs?
:09:42
It's aII right.
:09:44
Yes, aII right, I wiII caII you Iater.
:09:46
-What did he say?
-They're pretty hopeIess.
:09:49
There may be a chance, that's aII.
:09:50
The French government has recognized
Soviet Russia...
:09:53
and he doubts that they wiII risk a war
for my poor sake.
:09:56
He might be abIe to make up some kind
of a case, but it wouId cost money.
:10:00
Money, that's aII they are interested in,
those Iawyers.
:10:03
DarIing, caIm down.
Why do you need a Iawyer?
:10:05
Haven't you your IittIe VoIga boatman?
:10:10
Very good, exceIIent, superb.
:10:13
It'd be fooIish to beIittIe the quaIity
of the merchandise...
:10:16
but your terms are impossibIe.
:10:17
My counteroffer is the absoIute maximum.
:10:19
But Monsieur Mercier--
:10:20
GentIemen, I'm going to Iet you in
on a IittIe secret.
:10:23
We are undertaking this deaI
onIy because of the prestige invoIved.
:10:26
And, frankIy,
we're expected to take a Ioss.
:10:28
CapitaIistic methods.
:10:30
They accumuIate miIIions
by taking Ioss after Ioss.
:10:36
This is BuIjanoff, Iranoff, and KopaIski.
:10:39
Who? Count d'AIgout?
:10:42
No, that must be a mistake.
:10:44
No, we can't be disturbed.
:10:46
I assure you no one eIse can meet
the figure named by my syndicate.
:10:49
At Ieast not under
these economic conditions.
:10:51
We can wait.
:10:52
Do we give the impression of peopIe
who are pressed for money?
:10:55
Yes.
:10:56
GentIemen, Iet's put our cards
on the tabIe.
:10:58
Right now, there's
a Russian commission in New York...
